Maybe your notebook is firewalled? In "DROP packets" mode (a common
but extremely rude mode) a TCP connection which is forbidden will take
something like 30 seconds to timeout.
See if
ipchains -L
as root on the laptop recites a list of rules, or looks fairly open.
If you use ssh's X11 forwarding (i.e. _don't_ fiddle $DISPLAY) the
firewalling will be irrelevant because the X11 traffic is tunneled
through the established ssh connection.
